That's going to cost you 0.1 seconds in the corners. Car is now junk. (j/k)  ;);)
 
Your work is amazing, car looks great.

a little more done, and even closer to the finish....
installed rad hoses, throttle cable cruise cable, HORNS........ hood release, trans cooler, misc other small ticket items....




are these for anything important?






I assume this is for the light under the hood

Jerry, the last picture is the connector to the hood lamp.  Some hoods had them, some didn't.  In the second to last picture, that plugs into your EGR position valve sensor (EVP) on the back of the EGR valve - you can see the connector on the back of the EGR in your picture.

I'm not 100% sure on the other ones, but it looks like A/C related.

In the third picture, I believe that pigtail is for the sensor for the temp gauge on the digital dash. The buttstuffog gauges uses a one-pin connector there, but the double is also apparently present, as it is on my car with buttstuffog.

I agree. I have base cluster and that plug is connected to thin air in mine e/c as well.

Jerry, is your hood latch bracket bent? It looks curved to me. maybe it's the picture. Exactly which plug are you needing to know about now? There's a couple on the Sport that have no place to be, just hanging there.

it would be the connector in the 4th pic I posted yesterday... down under the battery area with all the fusible links and connectors...

My bracket always had a bit of a curve to it since the car was new...... never understood why...  I'll try to straighten it when I put the front back on for good... I'm thinking the car was welded together a bit wrong when the car was built....I remember things were a bit off when I was replacing parts and panels, and a ton of factory shims on one side of the fenders, and nothing on the other side.....
